During Mental Health Awareness Week, the charities involved want to stress the fact that getting active doesn’t have to involve intense workouts or a gym membership.
Get involved by sharing photos of what you are doing to be more active using #MoveMoreGsy
What can you do?
We are very lucky on Guernsey to have a huge range of groups and organisations that offer ways for you to move more and get active.
We have included links to a few activities you can do during the week, but there are many more. If you run a group or organisation and would like to be included, please email [email protected]
There are a number of groups and activities at community centres and other locations around the Island:

The benefit of doing activities in a group is that it gives you the opportunity to meet people and have a chat, but there are also plenty of activities you can do on your own. Why not take the opportunity to explore the Island and do something different?
